ENGLISH JOURNALISTS.

4 Country Where Journalism Stimulates

The journalist, it is customary to say,
is powerful in England, and believe
that the multitude of those who are de-
sirous Of adding journalism to their
rcsular occupations is, as the sands Of
the seashore, innumerable. But men
who mold public opinion by their writ

inclination to mix with society. Ger

TIE FRONTIER INCIDENT.

The German Public Prosecutor Finds the
Shooting to Have Occurred on German
Soil.
BERLIN, September 28.-The public pros
ecutOr at COImar has made inquiry into the
circumstances connected with the shooting
affair on the frontier near Roon-sul-PIaine
on Saturday last and reports that Kauf-
mann, the soldier who was detailed as forest
guard to prevent pOaching, and VINO did the
shooting, saw twelve persons walking to
wards the French frontier. Kaufman
called three times for them to halt, but they
paid no attention, and he fred. Then, seeing
guns leVeled at him behind some trees on
the French side of the boundary, he retreat
ed from his position. One of ths guards,
named LinhOf, witnessed the whole
affair and cOErObOrated kauf-
mans statement. Two large
blood spots were found on the French side,
yards from the frontier, which are taken as
evidence that CrigOn, the game beater for the

wounded and lay there some time. No
blood marks or foot prints were seen on the
German side Of the frontier there being g
high growth of heather there. Owing to the
density OF the uuderErOwth of brush and
the thickness of the trees, 1t would have been
impossible for Kaufman, from where he

marks were found or for him to have shot

PLENTY OF CORN.

Estimates Based Upon Reliable InforIna-
ton Place the Yield Above Average.
CHICAGO, September 27.-The TURNER'S
RsUielU Will publish in this weeks issue its
estimate OF the corn crop of 1887, estimating
it at about 1900, 600, COO, 600 bushels. This
estimate is based upon the following data:
The seven corn surplus states of Ohio, In
diana, Illinois. Missouri Iowa, Kansas and
Nebraska have, during the last seven years,
produced an average within a small
fraction of 100000, 100000 bushels
annually. This year all these
states have suffered severely from
drOughts. The department of agriculture
estimated the condition of the corn crop in
these states on September ], based on reports
Gifts correspondents prior TO that date, at 64
per cent. The TURNER'S ReUietg estimates
the condition. based on its correspondents
estimates up TO September 1, at only 81 per
cent. of an average crop. This 81 per cent.
would give for these states only $40, Co.,
100000 bushels on this years crop.
The rest of the country has
IN these seven years produced
an average of about 64O,OO0 600, 600 bushels.
But the crop this year is above the average
in the Atlantic and cotton states, and it Is
estimated that the yield viii be 10000, co.,
600 bushels IN excess of the average of the
past. This viii give to the country, outside
of these seven corn states above named, a
crop of 40, OOQ,O0O,O 600 bushels, which, added
to the $4,000 900, COO from these seven states,
makes total crop for the whole country Of

ST. LOUIS, September 3O.-Between u and
O'Clock this morning an excursion train on
the Missouri Pacific was wrecked at Valley
Park, nineteen miles west of this city. The
train was loaded with Grand Army men,
their families and excursionists, who had
been to the city to see the sights. The train
left the Union depot at II p. m, closely fol-
lowed by the second section. At Valley
Park the first train was de-
layed, and, through a misunderstanding
In signal, the second section crashed into
the rear chair cars of the first at nearly full
speed, badly wrecking two Of them, but in
some Unaccountable way none of the pas
sengers were hurt and all got out safely.
Two cars caught fire and were DESTROYED.
McCaiiister, engineer of the second section,
was injured pretty badly and a porter of
one of the cars had his hand
crushed. All reports of more serious results

THE VOLUNTEER GETS THERE.

The Gallant Yankee Yacht Again Demon
strates the Superiority of American
Boats and Seamen-
NEW YORK, September 3O.-Another at
tempt viii be made to-day to sail the second
race between the Volunteer" and the ''This-
tle." The outlook now is unfavorabIe for a
race Of any kind, much less race that viii
test the two boats. A heavy fog covers ev-
verything along the coast and rain falls al
most continually. The wind is stronger than
it was yesterday, and were it not for the fog
fine race could be sailed. The time for the
start from the ightship is 1880.
The Thistle anchored at night in the
Horse Shoe, and shortly after 8 O'Clock she
passed by the Hook on her way to the light
ship. The VOLUNTEER is also on her way
to the starting point. The weather has had
the effect of driving away from excursion
steamers all but very enthusiastic yachts
men. There will be fewer excursion boats
on the course than ever before, and no Urou-
bic Will be caused by them. Reporting the
race will be difficult matter, as there is no
SPOT on dry land where the course can be
seen; so it viii be hard to tell what the yachts
dO,as the course viii be twenty miles straight
out to sea and return. The Associated Press
tug which viii follow the racers is well sup
piled with carrier pigeons, but they are un-
reliable birds IN a heavy fog.
1913 a. m.-Ihe preparatory gun was hred
at 1882, and the starting signal has just
been fired. The yachts are now Vancouver
ing for the start. The winds fifteen miles
east. The fog Is lifting. The Volunteer
is now going out past the Hook and the start
will soon be made.
The wind is now fourteen miles. There IS
a heavy sea on.
1O:45 a. m.-The yachts crossed the line
about 1913. A haze prevents close ObservR-
ton but the volunteer seemed to have
slight lead, though both boats are very close
together. They are going very fast, close
hauled with bOOms to port.
LONG BEACH, September 3O.-2:3O p. H.
The Volunteer turned the stake boat at
2;25. The ''Thistle" has not turned yet.
She is one mile behind,
3:l5 p. m.-The Volunteer" is now about
two miles ahead.
$40 p. m.-The Volunteer is one mile
from the finish and the ''Thistle'' is three
miles behind.
HIGHLAND, September $3.50 p. m
The Volunteer finished at 4:24:10. The
din of whistles and booming of guns con-
tinued for fully I'VE minutes.
NEW YORK, September 30.-The "VOlun-
teer' finished at 4:24 aud the ''Ihistle" at
4:34. 1t was a square beat and no question
is raised as to the superiority OF the Ameri-
can craft. The volunteer was not only
better managed than the Thistle" but
showed herself the more speedy vessel.

LAKE MoHAwK, n. Y, September 29.-At
tO-day's conference OF the Friends Of the
Indians, a resolution was reported by DR..
Lyman Abbott to the effect that, hereafter,
the Indian bureau ought to be considered as
merely temporary, that the Indians should
at once be made subject to the laws andprO-
tected IN the rights of citizenship. Bishop
Huntington made a rather gloomy report
as to the barbarOus condition and
slow progress of the Indians on the eight
reservations in the state Of New York. He
advocated the abolition of the reservations
and of the treaties. This was followed by
discussion on the recent order Of the Indian
bureau prohibiting the use of the Indian
language in the reservation schools. The
general opinion was that it was impractical
and injurious, and that 1t would greatly re-
tard the Outstanding of the Indians.
